Humanities: LNG Review & Design Challenge Continues


LNG.
Today we start with Mr. Brackett providing some guidance and feedback on LNG responses.

There is now a Google Doc that you will complete each Monday and Wednesday, our designated LNG days.

Then you will put that guidance and feedback to work by completing a LNG using Newsela.com as your source.

DESIGN CHALLENGE.
EMPATHY phase.

Most every group is working on empathy interviews.  These should be completed in time to do empathy mapping on Wednesday.  Your group is still welcome to go to whichever phase works best for your thinking and brain.  Just make sure you are DOCUMENTING what you are doing.

On Google Classroom, I've added graphic organizers to capture your empathy interviews.  You can type notes into them OR add pictures of your notes.

BLOG.

This week's required post is on Google Classroom.  We're going to us that as our consist source of daily work and announcements and use Flight307 here as much as possible to add more information.

This week's blog post is over the totem work.

We never quite connected the dots with our totems, STEAL and symbolism. So this week, we fill in that blank on our blogs. Explain how your totem symbolizes you, how each part of the design is very intentional, and how it your totem reflects any/all of the following: your speech, your thoughts, your effect on others, your actions, your looks. Include a screen shot of your totem design AND hopefully, if the week goes according to plan, a picture of the finished totem printed out.

HOMEWORK.

Blogs: 3+ Posts
Due: Friday, Nov 21st
